SNK releases First Official Public Statement of Bankruptcy
[ Original Statement ]

SNK has released their first official public release statement regarding their bankrputcy, through Enterbrain Publishing. The comment- originally written in japanese, translates as follows.

[ Original Statement
]

After undergoing any twists and turns, SNK will draw the curtains to [its] 20 odd years of history this month. To everybody who loved the games by SNK, thank you very much. And as a beseeching request, we wish that [you] continue to love the games. Because, the future of those who carry our remaining "S" DNA, will start from here.

From All Employees of SNK(Inc.)

Short Comment- I assume that SNK is implying of other companies acquiring their intellectual assets, and perhaps even some of their current employees. Things should be interesting, although the thought of SNK's characters doing humanly impossible moves and Kyo doing Iori's motion may not be taken too well by old fans.

Nevertheless, it's quite a shame to SNK go. SNK was one of the greatest influences to the establishment of the MMCafe itself. -H.Moriarty
